Spring Mountain Vineyard, Elivette Reserve, Napa Valley 2002

Perhaps one of the more hedonistic wines produced at Spring Mountain Vineyard, there's a real girth to this one, enhanced by heady menthol, earth, and sweet oak spices. With the alcohol level hovering at 14.8%, a clear mark of the warm 2002 vintage, this sits among the ripest renditions of Elivette. Full-bodied with sweet, raisined fruit and earth, black tea, and a granular texture.
